Think in English

Sossy Mode Gives You Powerful, Smooth, Confident English

You won’t get to use the blessings that you have if you hate them. -Kevin Olega

We Filipinos have a pretty unique attitude when it comes to the English language.

We pick on grammar errors and call them “barok” or “carabao English”.

We pick on pronunciation errors and call them “Bisaya” or “probinsyano”.

Here’s the best part, a lot of Filipinos don’t have better speaking ability than the people they bully for speaking in English and when they do encounter a local who speaks very well we call them “pa-social” (which implies that they are social climbers and trying to pretend to be rich) or we call their English “slang” (which I guess should be natural at that level) or worse we call them “maarte” (which means spoiled, high class, picky or hard to please).
